Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a father with a 9 year old son in the Greenville county public school system.

I am the current Greenvile County Republican party sergeant at arms. I am also the Executive Committeeman for my Greenville County Republican party precinct.

I am running for office to protect our children from THE WOKE INDOCTRINATION that is currently sweeping our nation and state from the left.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I believe our children's safety should be our top priority. We can educate them to the best of our ability, however if we can not ensure that they are going to be able to make through the entire education system without being the victim of school violence, or even worse, a school shooting, then we have failed on all levels.

  Q school resou officer in a school with several hundred children is not enough. We need to make sure our children are just as protected as the Greenville County employees in the new glass palace, that sit behind the safety of metal detectors and armed personnel the entire time. Why are these adults held to a higher level of importance than our children!?

  I will fix this if elected.
• Protecting our children's physical safety is paramount. As adults bit is up to us to protect our children's innocence as well. They must be protected from the LGBTQ+ agenda that is being shoved down their thoats and embedded into their minds. Our children's education is no place for such a warped social experiment. We need to make sure that all pornographic books are not available to our children at all! I will ensure that CRT DEI and SEL is not allowed in our schools.
• Taxes. The establishment always believes that throwing more money at a problem that was created through bad policy will fix a problem, without having to reverse the said bad policy. This has never and will never work. Unfortunately us taxpayers are continually raked over the coals every year for more money to compensate for inept bureaucrats. There will NEVER be a vote from me to raise taxes, if anything taxes need to be lowered from the school board side. We have a budget of nearly 1 BILLION DOLLARS, which is nearly doubled from the last decade. No tax increase ever from me!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

One policy that I would like to implement, would ensure that any school shooting situation in any Greenville County Public School would be able to be stopped in its tracks, minimizing any possible loss of life of any of our children.

I believe that volunteer GCS employees that are willing and able, should be able to take a course approved by the board that teaches them how to proactively address an active shooter situation. Upon completion of this approved course employees will be able to conceal carry to be ablento protect our children, rather than let them be the next victims of a school shooting.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Ron Paul. He is the most fiscally conservative politician in modern history, and followed the Constitution better than any modern Era politician.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The US Constitution and the Federalist papers

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Nothing qualifies me more than having a son in the public school system.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To protect our children on all levels, from every type of indoctrination that is preying over our kids.

What legacy would you like to leave?

To have advocated for the children of Greenville county to the best of my ability.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The first Gulf War, I was in 4th grade.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was working on a farm at the age of 11. I worked there until I was almost 16.

What is the primary job of a school board member in your view?

To ensure that teachers, faculty, parents, and children all have the resources to set our kids up for success during school and after graduation.

Who are your constituents?

They are everyday hardworking individuals like myself that are sick and tired of being taken advantage of by our local government and tired of being lied to.

In what areas would you like to expand curriculum? For example, do you see a need for advanced technical training or apprenticeships? What sort of innovative programming would you advance if given the opportunity?

I believe skilled trades need to be focused on, college is not for every person.

I also believe we need to educate children more on credit and banking more, so when they get into the real world they are set up for success at every level

What strategies or plans would you advance to ensure the schools are properly funded?

We have plenty of funds, it's time to cut the irresponsible spending.

What principles drive your policies for safety in schools?

God, the Constitution, and parents rights

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I am supported by the Greenville County Republican Party.

Describe your ideal learning environment for students.

Free of all DEI, SEL,CRT free from any LGBTQ+ agendas. Let our children learn the basics, free from any politically motivated ideology.

How do you feel like your school district handled the coronavirus pandemic? What, if anything, would you do differently in the future?

They failed by masking our children and social distancing, they failed our teachers by insin that they were mandating the vaccine. Many teachers regret getting the vaccine to "keep" their jobs. GSC failed miserably in this area.

What will you do to build a relationship with parents in the district?

I would have an open door policy, I am just a phone call away, I will also make myself available weekly to hear any concerns that one may want to voice.

What are your preferred strategies for faculty, staff, and administration recruitment?

Take the chains off of our teachers and let them teach, get rid of policies that are ineffective and restrictive and it would invite teachers to Greenville.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

On every level there should be transparency and accountability of our taxpayers funds.
